4 bedroom house for sale

An attractive, mixed-use property comprising a lock-up retail /office unit and a characterful house
with up to four bedrooms and a garden, set in the town centre.

This rare and beautiful property offers surprisingly spacious living accommodation, coupled with a lock-up retail / office unit, with a good letting history. The house is thought to date from mid-1600s and displays all the character of such a dwelling with some heavily beamed ceilings and an inglenook on the first floor. There has been a shop unit at the front for more than a century.

The house is entered from the passage way leading from St Osyth’s Lane. This is shared with three other buildings. There is a small hall leading to the breakfast room, which has a fireplace to one side. This room was larger and could be made so again, by reducing the size of the shop unit on the other side of the stud wall. The kitchen is at the back of the house and offers lovely, bright working space with two windows to the garden. The wall and base units offer plenty of storage. The worktops have an inset sink. Electric oven and hob are installed. There is space for the usual appliances.

The first floor has a wonderful atmosphere, and the true character of the house is evident. To the front are two beautiful reception rooms. The sitting room has an inglenook with an open fire, as a cosy focal point. The adjoining room makes a fabulous formal dining room or could be a lovely main bedroom, with a beamed ceiling. Also on this floor is a further comfortable double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. There is a huge bathroom, with corner bath, separate shower, bidet, WC and basin. Adjacent is another shower room. Two separate staircases rise to the superbly proportioned attic bedrooms, each with a dormer window to the front.

The delightful, leafy, courtyard garden is beautifully designed and offers paved terraces with seating areas and raised shrub beds. A good storage shed is set to one side.
The shop unit offers well-appointed and bright retail or office space of about 256 sq ft, plus an additional storeroom. It has a door directly on to St Osyth’s Lane, which is a busy thoroughfare. The premises is currently unoccupied, due to the freehold being for sale, but it has an excellent letting history. It is anticipated that the rental value of the shop premises, is in the region of £12,000 per annum.
